Lecture date: November 5, 2003, 7 – 8 p.m.
Roberley Bell is a Professor at Rochester Institute of Technology in New York. Her 2-day workshop will cover alternate means of fabricating in 3-dimensions and developing content in sculpture. Participants learn about a variety of material (clay, wax, wood, metal, rubber, foam and plaster), processes and tools for working in three-dimensional space. Roberley will guide students in the development of drawing skills, researching and working towards a self-defined objective. The focus will be on small-scale work with an emphasis on molded and rendered forms.
Roberely Bell’s lecture will cover the above as well as the following concept: It takes all kinds of skills to make sculpture, but one of the most important is creative thinking. How do you “grow your ideas” into a final artwork? In addition to an introduction to the fundamentals of materials and processes, this lecture offers grounding in the important skill of idea development.
